Apple's Wireless Direct Link and WiFi issues

I ran across this in another context, and wondered how many Roon problems this might have caused.

Macbooks use a Wi-Fi interface called AWDL (Apple Wireless Direct Link) for features like AirDrop and AirPlay. Having AWDL on may cause your Wi-Fi connection to periodically reset. Although these issues can manifest in various ways, the underlying issue is the same: throughput and speeds drop, devices get disconnected randomly, and fail to rejoin the network.

Not seen any issues with my M1 MacBook Pro in this regard.

Old news resolved by updates. Historically might have had an effect prior to 2023.
